There are a number of volunteer organizations in Canada with the common goal to improve health and social outcomes for people living with and affected by eating disorders.  These organizations operate independently with an important focus on different aspects of eating disorders and a unique role to play.

In 2019, EDFC joined with three other organization to create the Canadian Eating Disorders Alliance to produce a joint study entitled the Canadian Eating Disorders Strategy.

Members of the Alliance includes:

  • Eating Disorders Association of Canada (EDAC)
  • Eating Disorders Foundation of Canada (EDFC)
  • National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC) and
  • National Initiative for Eating Disorders (NIED)

Individually, members of The Alliance work: to reduce stigma associated with EDs; improve public awareness: improve education, training and health and social system design; and improve referrals to appropriate care between different parts of the health and social care systems.
